Oecanthus forbesi

[3] This species has a yellowish head with black markings on the first two antennal segments.

The two species can be reliably separated only by the pulses per second (p/sec) of the male's song.

[5] The male sings by stridulation, and the p/sec increases with temperature.

[6] The song of the male below was measured at 55-56 p/sec in temperature of about 15 degrees Celsius (°C).
